Re: The Cooking Thread

Unless you, yourself, are food I don't see how a food photo could be a selfie. Which is an appalling word anyway.

I'm going to assume that you mean his photos don't have similar qualities as most self-snapped portraits, like weird angles and excessively pointless filters.

Don't follow me just to bitch Miss C. I didn't make up the stupid name. I don't do selfies cept the one bloody which I really did think this is it. Lastly, I fucking like good pictures, not something my grand kids could do a better job of than most of the lame pics people post.

Re: The Cooking Thread

We also had three home-brewed beers (I really liked the porter), some delicious appetizers and Irish tiramisu (made with Bailey's instead of Marsala/rum/whatever).

The prep of the scones was perhaps my favorite in that the ingredients were all pre-weighed early when there's plenty of time and everyone is sober. Then they can be dumped into the bowl and mixed, formed and baked so they can served fresh.

Re: The Cooking Thread

But that looks pretty good. Another thing you can do with non-yeasted things like scones and biscuits is make all the dough and form it ahead of time, freeze them on a cookie sheet, and pop 'em in a Ziploc in the freezer until the day you feel like a biscuit or scone or whatever - keep the temp the same when baking, and just extend the baking time/keep on eye on them. I do this all the time for dinner parties with my biscuits and they always come out as perfectly as if I'd made them at the person's house.

I'm not sure I've ever heard the phrase "with my biscuits" before. Are all your friends pastry chefs, or is this indicative of a much sadder reality involving you serving food to other food in desperate hopes of slaking your loneliness?

Re: The Cooking Thread

Also I am looking forward to making beef stock with the bones from the ribs. I had the butcher cut out the bones and they are sitting in my freezer; there would not have been room for them in the slow cooker.

Re: The Cooking Thread

So tonight I am making a sauteed sausage and veggie dish. I however just thought of apple smoked bacon and seen the same thing with sausage before. I have this idea of dicing up an apple and throwing it the saute pan along with everything else. Anyone else ever try something like this before or would suggest me from doing it otherwise? I'm going to start cooking in about 20 mins so if I don't hear anything I'm just going to give it a shot.

Not. I really don't pre-measure, just sort of throw what I have together. All of that was to get rid of one friggin banana I didn't want to waste. Speaking of Waste, haven't heard from them lately ... cr****
